My first time in Australia, and I was totally loving it. I played at the Inner Varnika festival, and in Melbourne and Sydney and I made so many friends and I just had a wonderful time. And I am not really a festival DJ and due to play the closing, which was a huge task, as everybody kept telling me for three days. When I was finally on the nervousness fell off instantly though, and it was one of those sets where everything clicks, including an encore with downtempo tracks that went down really well. My favourite moment was a sweater thrown on stage, directly landing on the spinning record. I could barely manage to prevent the whole thing from stopping dead. The stage crew was shocked and told me they would be going down into the crowd to look who did that. But I kind of knew it anyway. Most likely my friend Dreesen, in the heat of the moment. And there indeed he stood, with kit off, dancing. The whole trip was magical. Probably one of my fondest memories in all those years of playing out.
Hunee was due to play all night but he missed a flight or something. I rammed some records in the bag and jumped in. Thankfully he arrived when I just had one record left to play.
